Greetings everyone,

We hope you all are enjoying our new Trenton demo that we released for Next Fest.Overnight, we released a new 0.4.1 update for The Glorious Cause demo, focused specifically on improving the Battle of Trenton scenario for this weekend’s Steam Next Fest.We wanted to get this update out so players can enjoy a smoother and more polished version of the demo while Next Fest is still underway. This update focuses on a number of bug fixes and improved gameplay feedback that you, the community, have provided. We are very grateful for your feedback, thank you. The update includes additional AI capabilities and the inclusion of a new unit in the Trenton scenario: Hessian Jägers.A special thank you goes to Ben, Eric, Sophia, and James for working overtime to get these bugs fixed, update the code logic, test the scenario, and help get this new demo update ready for players.

Demo 0.4.1 Changes

Ammo is no longer duplicated when loading from a dispatch (saved game).
No more Continental Units having thousands of rounds.
Players can now see what weapon Hessian units are utilizing.
AI no longer decides indefinitely, which previously led to games ending early.
The Hessian Jager Rifle now appears when the Sentries are clicked on.
Pressing the Charge button on a unit that is not near an enemy force now shows a pop-up explaining why the charge will not work.
Unit formation borders no longer appear underneath smoke.

These fixes should help improve the overall flow of the Trenton scenario, reduce confusion during combat, and make the demo more stable for players trying it during Next Fest.We are continuing to monitor feedback, bug reports, and player experiences. Thank you to everyone who has played the demo, wishlisted the game, reported issues, or shared your thoughts with us.

The reason is pretty simple: the team has been up to its neck in work. And while it may have seemed quiet from the outside, behind the scenes T he Glorious Cause has probably undergone some of the biggest improvements we have made since development began.
